Trick Disney World uses to disguise things we’re not meant to see

There are certain things the famous theme park doesn’t want its guests to see. And this is the secret way it pulls that off.

Disney World have a number of secret ways to keep the magic of the park alive for guests, and one of them involves a particular shade of green.

Dubbed the “go away green” or “no-see-um-green”, it is used throughout the park without visitors even realising.

The specific shade of green used is described as grey-green with a tinge of blue, The Sun reported.

According to Mental Floss, the colour is used on items that are less than exciting and not part of the experience, such as bins, signs and fences and even backstage areas.

This helps them to fade into the landscape and not be easily seen, therefore capturing the illusion of the park.

“The goal of this colour is to cause the object to fade into your colour spectrum so that your eye will miss it completely,” Disney expert Gavin Doyle told Business Insider.

Everything at Disney World is the way it is for a reason.

The colour is designed by “Imagineers”, part of the Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) team, who create all of the designs and themes in the Disney franchise including cruises, attractions, resorts and theme parks.

Reddit user red_pantz, who claims to document paint colours for Disney, explained how “go away green” was not just one colour.

“Disney uses a few different colours to get buildings to fade into the foliage surrounding it,” they said.

“It has a lot to do with what the building is blending into — ivy differs from oak, which differs from shrubs, etc.

Disney World has found a way to control what we notice and what we don't.

“For example, if you need an aged copper finish, you know that colour #12345 is the base, colour #23456 is the substrate, and colour #34567 is the patina.”

Last year, a creepy secret was revealed about the Disney World and Disneyland theme parks — they were outed as among the most popular places for families to scatter their loved ones ashes.

According to The Wall Street Journal, custodians at the famous theme parks claim not only do guests bring their family’s ashes to scatter, but they do it so often, staff have a special code word for it: HEPA clean-up, referring to an ultrafine vacuum cleaner.

Disney custodians said it happened once a month, and some places were more popular than others.

A particularly popular spot for leaving behind ashes was the Haunted Mansion attraction.

“The Haunted Mansion probably has so much human ashes in it that it’s not even funny,” one Disneyland custodian told the Journal.

Human ashes are also reportedly spread in flowerbeds, landscaping around the park, and in water rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, the Dumbo ride moat, and It’s a Small World.

A representative for Disney said spreading ashes at the park was “strictly prohibited and unlawful”.
